Shave the Old-Fashioned Way

You can prevent a lot of waste by shaving with a double-edged razor, shaving soap, and brush. That's what I use and the only waste is a very, very thin piece of steel each month. It's an enjoyable experience that leaves me without razor burn. Even better would be a straight razor, but those are expensive and more difficult to use.

Here's a good beginners' guide.

And here's where you can buy the goods and get a whole lot of info as well.

Don't let Gillette fool you into thinking their five-blade razors are any better than what your dad or grandad used.

I assume these razors would work equally well on other parts of the body, but would be interested to hear feedback.
